Walnut Farmhouse Coffee Table – Circa 1910 Buddha Statues Originally constructed as a traditionalThis handsome rustic farmhouse table was originally used for everyday family meals. Crafted in Henan Province in Northern China circa 1910, its low proportions reflect the traditional style of dining in rural China, where families gathered around low tables whilst seated on stools or benches, making it a central part of daily family life. Constructed from richly grained walnut, the table has developed a warm, mellow patina through generations of use.
